Hi Lee, +1 (binding)
I have verified RC3 with the following results: - *Source zip*: SHA-512 matches; GPG "Good signature" for key 8CD4A902 (N Lee Rhodes), which is present in KEYS. - *Git comparison*: Source is byte-identical to git tag 7.0.0-RC3 (commit 9273047); only expected files (.asf.yaml, .gitignore, and .github contents) are export-ignored. - *Compliance*: No binaries found in source; all source files include the ASF header; apache-rat:check passes. - *LICENSE/NOTICE:* Both are present and correct. (Note: LICENSE Appendix B still cites old datasketches-memory-java8 paths. While the paths could use a refresh, all works are present and properly licensed, so this is not blocking.) - *Build & Test*: mvn clean test resulted in BUILD SUCCESS. All tests passed on Java 11 (372), 17 (346), 21 (346), and 25 (346) with zero failures. - *Staging*: Maven Central staging (orgapachedatasketches-1086) verified. Both artifacts and the parent POM are signed (.asc Good) with matching checksums. Thanks!
